Desktop Cartography was previously conducted by Bandung 
Institute of Technology (ITB) as a cooperative training with 
Bakosurtanal. After technology’s transfer to Bakosurtanal 
training staffs, then the training can be done in Bakosurtanal. It 
is important to push with various cooperative activities with 
other institutions, universities etc., in order to strengthen the 
capability of TDSM trainers and instructors. 
c. Remote Sensing and GIS Course 
The objective of this course is to optimize the methodology of 
spatial data processing by applying remote sensing and GIS 
technology. This training is conducted for 20 Bappeda staffs 
(Autonomous Kabupaten Area) in Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang 
and Bekasi (Jabotabek) area, Sukabumi and Cianjur (Planned 
for all Bappedas in District/Kabupaten Areas in Indonesia). 
d. Course on Resources Remote Sensing with Image 
Interpretation and Integrated Surveys Approach; 
This training will be conducted by PUSPICS (Training Center 
for Image Interpretation and Integrated Surveys), the Faculty of 
Geography, Gadjah Mada University. Since the establishment 
of PUSPICS (cooperated training center Bakosurtanal - UGM), 
this training has resulted 419 Bappeda’s staffs from various 
provinces and other participants in Indonesia. 
e. Natural Resources Inventory Course 
This training is to improve staff capability in natural resources 
inventory, and its information presented by remote sensing and 
GIS technology. This course is designed for 15 participants 
from institution involved in surveys and mapping.

Future Activities 
As shown in the program list, there are many activities in 
training and extending to unrelated surveys and mapping fields. 
This is obligatory that TDSM should train not only surveys and 
mapping courses, but also should conduct the non-related 
surveys and mapping courses. However, TDSM should give a 
priority and focus on the training of surveys and mapping and 
other related fields. 
In general, education and training which will be conducted in 
the range of five-year plan as follows: 
1. Surveys and Mapping (SM) formal education/ degree) 
2. Surveys and Mapping (technical) Training, consists of SM 
Technical Basic Courses, Advanced, Technical Application 
Course, Refreshment Courses for LREP/MREP Project, 
Special (Tailor Made) Courses. 
3. Non-related SM Training consists of functional and 
structural bearers, career and promotion courses. 
In general in period of five years, several planned training can 
be seen in Table 2. 
THE IMPROVEMENT OF TDSM 
Training Staffs 
TDSM totally has 42 staffs, with only 4 persons having masters 
degree level, 8 persons sarjana (SI), 4 persons with bachelor
